‘Discussion topic is Using Emotional Intelligence to engage non-communicative students’

ILETA is excited to announce that in our next ILETA Monthly Trainers’ MeetUP we will be discussing the topic ‘Using Emotional Intelligence to Engage Non-Communicative Students’

Information about the MeetUP

As we all know, in many of our classrooms, the biggest challenge isn’t student ability — it’s silence.We all encounter students who avoid participation, give minimal responses, or seem emotionally “checked out.”

Traditional engagement strategies (cold calling students, more direct questions, extra tasks) don’t always work — and can sometimes make students withdraw even more.

In our upcoming ILETA MeetUP, we’ll explore how emotional intelligence (EI) can become a practical teaching tool for reaching these learners.

When: Monday – 23 February

Time:

Where: Zoom – Online

Costs: Participation for Basic and Bronze Members is free

Registration: ILETA Monthly MEETUP-February 2026 – Registration

Rethinking Critical Thinking – ILETA Monthly Meetup 30 March 2026
Critical thinking is one of the skills we most often say we want our students to develop. But what do we really mean by critical thinking?
In legal and professional contexts, critical thinking is often misunderstood as simply criticizing an argument or finding weaknesses in someone else’s position. In reality, it is much more than that.
Critical thinking involves asking better questions:• What assumptions are being made?• What evidence supports this claim?• What perspectives might be missing?• What would change my mind?
For Legal English practitioners, this matters. When we design activities around cases, contracts, negotiations, or legal problems, we are not just teaching language—we are helping learners practice how lawyers actually think.
In this month’s ILETA Monthly Trainers’ Meetup, we will explore how we can move beyond surface-level discussion and design tasks that genuinely develop critical thinking in Legal English classrooms.
This meeting will be led by Agnieska A Chojecka who makes this proposal:
“Let’s think about critical thinking more critically.How is it integrated into Legal English classes, and what purpose does it really serve?Do we sometimes take it for granted because of the legal content we work with?
I’d like to start a discussion on how we can exploit it even better and treat it as a framework that strengthens our students’ memory and learning.“
Join us for a practical and collaborative conversation with colleagues from around the world.
